Darker wash, black, coated, pleather, velvet, and boot cut or trouser jeans would be dressier. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-jeans-state-of-the-jeans-capsule-and-wiw-for-fun---long-sorry/page/2#post-2288948 Sun, 30 Oct 2022 20:12:26 +0000 Helena 2288948@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Notsaf great suggestions thank you! Sal black boot cuts sounds fab! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-jeans-state-of-the-jeans-capsule-and-wiw-for-fun---long-sorry/page/2#post-2288946 Sun, 30 Oct 2022 19:44:14 +0000 Sal 2288946@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So interesting Helena. I agree with your direction - interested to see what you end up with. </p> <p>I didn’t update my denim this winter because I was really happy with my existing collection. I have skinny cords that I like but the others are different styles of straight. Black bootcuts are what I am thinking of for next winter. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-jeans-state-of-the-jeans-capsule-and-wiw-for-fun---long-sorry#post-2288938 Sun, 30 Oct 2022 18:27:05 +0000 notsaf 2288938@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No surprise, I am right there with you in the transition from skinny jeans! It was so easy for so long, but I banished them from my closet almost entirely one year ago. Still figuring it out!&nbsp;</p> <p>You've gotten great advice about k/r, so I'm just putting some of my current go-to jeans styles here for you as inspo. I've been loving old school flares in the newer long length with flats this season: that's what I wore in college in the last 90's/early 00's and I am so happy to get into them again. (Whoever said you can't repeat then trend when it comes back around was so wrong.) Also have a few very dark wash jeans in straight and wide leg styles that work with flat and boots. (The Oliver Logan ones are much longer - and better - IRL.)</p> <p>Happy dressing! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-jeans-state-of-the-jeans-capsule-and-wiw-for-fun---long-sorry#post-2288924 Sun, 30 Oct 2022 16:16:07 +0000 Anonymous 2288924@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You should be a professional jeans model — they all look great on you (said somewhat enviously). &nbsp;The last pic is sending-me-into-orbit fab! &nbsp;It’s a great casual elegant look. &nbsp;I’m here for the jeans journey! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-jeans-state-of-the-jeans-capsule-and-wiw-for-fun---long-sorry#post-2288922 Sun, 30 Oct 2022 16:08:13 +0000 Angie 2288922@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look KILLER in all the jeans,<b> Helena</b>! WELL DONE evolving it to what feels right for you now. Follow your intuition :)</p> <p>The so called straight legs look skinny to me. I vote return. You need a looser fit. A flared silhouette. Or maybe black bottoms?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-jeans-state-of-the-jeans-capsule-and-wiw-for-fun---long-sorry#post-2288868 Sun, 30 Oct 2022 02:30:00 +0000 Jaime 2288868@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well all the jeans look fantastic on you, but if you are looking to inject some trendiness/currentness (?) I would go for something a bit baggier or wider. Like your WIW, which is smashing. Just a bit wider and I do like the idea of leather/pleather/black for dressiness.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-jeans-state-of-the-jeans-capsule-and-wiw-for-fun---long-sorry#post-2288841 Sat, 29 Oct 2022 23:11:38 +0000 Helena 2288841@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh some great options here; thanks you guys so much!</p> <p>Jenni, yes, that's very true! I am okay if they are slim providing they are somewhat different from what I have ... I.e. perhaps black or deep indigo or velvet as suggested ... I feel like these are so close to my skinnies in every way (shape but also fit and wash) that they're not adding anything additional. But you're quite right, nothing wrong with just liking slim jeans! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-jeans-state-of-the-jeans-capsule-and-wiw-for-fun---long-sorry#post-2288840 Sat, 29 Oct 2022 23:04:48 +0000 Sally 2288840@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I actually thought they were skinnies or slim fits, but anyway they look great on you.&nbsp; I love how you are moving out of the skinny range and I might even take the leap like you as I am really enjoying my straight jeans and bootcut.&nbsp; My favourite straight jeans are really dark levis 314.&nbsp; I have been wearing them for about 3 years and they haven't really faded.&nbsp; I think sometimes as someone mentioned it is hard to tell skinnies from straight, but these ones are dark enough for work.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-jeans-state-of-the-jeans-capsule-and-wiw-for-fun---long-sorry#post-2288806 Sat, 29 Oct 2022 17:20:35 +0000 Indigoprint 2288806@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not meaning to push my ideas, but as I looked more at the livelovelisa sight I realized she had alot of stuff! Do to be more clear....<br /> I mostly run into her pics on Pinterest so I am not a regular to her beyond saving more than 2 of her outfits to my Pinterest board.<br /> But this is what I was thinking of this particular way these wide leg jeans fit her. What I am noticing is that they are slimmer through the hip and thigh and gain fuller momentum as they go down.<br /> I can imagine them full length as well. However I like the crop length. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-jeans-state-of-the-jeans-capsule-and-wiw-for-fun---long-sorry#post-2288777 Sat, 29 Oct 2022 13:33:54 +0000 Jules 2288777@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love your new proportions outfit! Very ‘chill’ :)<br /> I also love those taupe velvet pants Kerry posted…<br /> I’ll be in skinnies at least some days this winter. They are just so practical for our climate. However my old ones are looking very tight on the leg these days, between weight gain and changing trends, and I don’t necessarily want to buy new ones at this point so I will see how things go… </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-jeans-state-of-the-jeans-capsule-and-wiw-for-fun---long-sorry#post-2288723 Sat, 29 Oct 2022 01:25:53 +0000 kerry 2288723@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Agree with others and your initial instincts.</p> <p>Is velvet out as being too limiting?</p> <p><a href="https://www.gapcanada.ca/browse/product.do?pid=475983013&#038;pcid=999&#038;vid=1&#038;searchText=Velvet&#038;clickid=zgyxlJ06lxyIUWhXlPz%3ArxrhUkDXWX2l1R7fyI0&#038;ap=6&#038;tid=goafca3640647&#038;siteID=gocacid651597&#038;irgwc=1#pdp-page-content" rel="nofollow">https://www.gapcanada.ca/brows.....ge-content</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-jeans-state-of-the-jeans-capsule-and-wiw-for-fun---long-sorry#post-2288721 Sat, 29 Oct 2022 01:11:13 +0000 Jenni NZ 2288721@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They look lovely on you, excellent fit and your legs look great.

I agree with the suggestions to go for a black pair , or faux leather .

But, having said that, I'm with those who suggest another option because these are not different enough to what you already have and won't move you forward. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-jeans-state-of-the-jeans-capsule-and-wiw-for-fun---long-sorry#post-2288679 Fri, 28 Oct 2022 20:00:55 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2288679@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the WIW. The k/r jeans look great on you, but if you are looking to move away from the skinnies, they really are a teeny tiny baby step </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-jeans-state-of-the-jeans-capsule-and-wiw-for-fun---long-sorry#post-2288678 Fri, 28 Oct 2022 19:41:25 +0000 Helena 2288678@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Indigoprint, I will definitely be keeping a pair! There are days when they are just right and I suspect when I get into wearing winter boots will choose them more often for utilitarian purposes. So I won't abandon them completely. Thank you so much for the kind compliment </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-jeans-state-of-the-jeans-capsule-and-wiw-for-fun---long-sorry#post-2288675 Fri, 28 Oct 2022 19:21:59 +0000 Indigoprint 2288675@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Please don't transition completely from your skinnies cuz you SO FAB in them. I kind of think on certain outfits, a skinny is timeless. Audrey Hepburn wore them well along with more fluid trouser outfits and they still look well done. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-jeans-state-of-the-jeans-capsule-and-wiw-for-fun---long-sorry#post-2288673 Fri, 28 Oct 2022 18:52:06 +0000 Helena 2288673@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you so much everyone for the kind comments and excellent suggestions!</p> <p>I did think about leather pants ... perhaps I shall explore that option as well as black jeans. I do like the idea of trying some flares too.</p> <p>Sarah, I appreciate you being the spanner but given others are echoing some of my initial impressions, I think I'll err on the side of caution and return. But thanks for the compliment :D</p> <p>And thank you Rachy and Jonesy for the WIW feedback - it certainly is a comfy silhouette, that's for sure ... and easy to layer warm base layers under since it is SO cold today!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-jeans-state-of-the-jeans-capsule-and-wiw-for-fun---long-sorry#post-2288669 Fri, 28 Oct 2022 18:22:52 +0000 SarahD8 2288669@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I will be the spanner and say that I really like the new jeans!</p> <p>The cut does seem "different enough" to skinnies but as I've mentioned my eye is lately really keying in on that subtle addition of ease at the ankle as distinct from true skinnies.</p> <p>And I like the wash. It seems versatile to me -- dark enough to go dressy, but light enough for everyday (which is good if you only occasionally need dressy) and also provide a bit of juxtaposition to dressy tops.&nbsp;</p> <p>Also, they look just plain stunning on you. Like, hellllooooo hot lady! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-jeans-state-of-the-jeans-capsule-and-wiw-for-fun---long-sorry#post-2288661 Fri, 28 Oct 2022 18:01:08 +0000 Jonesy 2288661@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great WIW--you look fab in your loosened up silhouette :)!</p> <p>To my eye, the jeans in 1-2 look too similar to the skinnies and the "stumpy" ones, so if you are on the fence about them, I would return. I love the idea of some black jeans for you, or faux leather pants! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-jeans-state-of-the-jeans-capsule-and-wiw-for-fun---long-sorry#post-2288659 Fri, 28 Oct 2022 17:19:22 +0000 Cardiff girl 2288659@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How about a faux leather pair?I notice Gap has a pair of straight leg faux leather black trousers that l can see you in. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-jeans-state-of-the-jeans-capsule-and-wiw-for-fun---long-sorry#post-2288654 Fri, 28 Oct 2022 17:08:40 +0000 rachylou 2288654@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the shape, but agree with Roxanna about colour. Also: I have serious love for 5-7. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-jeans-state-of-the-jeans-capsule-and-wiw-for-fun---long-sorry#post-2288649 Fri, 28 Oct 2022 16:42:29 +0000 slim cat 2288649@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Straight jeans have a slightly more challenging shape - it often looks somewhat too simple ( or even a bit boring in a way ). I used to wear a lot of straight jeans from GAP and Lucky and mostly cuffed them to add more visual interest. The medium blue wash is safe choice but washed black or colored version would be more interesting.<br />The fit is pretty good and I second the opinion of getting same in black wash. It maybe of course the matter of playing with different shoes, tops and accessories combos.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-jeans-state-of-the-jeans-capsule-and-wiw-for-fun---long-sorry#post-2288644 Fri, 28 Oct 2022 16:36:25 +0000 Star (Lise) 2288644@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great fit though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-jeans-state-of-the-jeans-capsule-and-wiw-for-fun---long-sorry#post-2288639 Fri, 28 Oct 2022 16:27:29 +0000 RobinF 2288639@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree they seem not different or dressy enough. Maybe the color in flares would read dressier? Or as Roxanna said in a black. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-jeans-state-of-the-jeans-capsule-and-wiw-for-fun---long-sorry#post-2288637 Fri, 28 Oct 2022 16:21:56 +0000 Irina 2288637@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Get the black ones for variety. Actually, get a black pair and try both to see what works better for your wardrobe's needs. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-jeans-state-of-the-jeans-capsule-and-wiw-for-fun---long-sorry#post-2288618 Fri, 28 Oct 2022 14:23:21 +0000 CarolS 2288618@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with Roxanna. They don't seem different enough or dressy enough to really do what you want. It sounds like you can tide yourself over while you keep an eye open for those special dressier jeans. You will know them when you find them!</p> <p> </p>
